Why did she make those comments that are so hurtful.
" I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
This a set back to all first generation Americans who work had to make this the best country in the world, To not see the color of others or their nationality from ancestors to make others lessor. You shame us as a bigot and racist.
You shame your parents and us wit hose actions so you must work to stop that kind of behavior. Quit your radical and Latino clubs that want to destroy the rest of us. They are no better than the KKK or Nazis.
Why do you think you are better than some one else? By being an arrogant Chic-ano others think of you as an uneducated Beaner. I am proud of my ancestry, but I do not want that becoming this country.
I am an American first, a diversity from the whole world and with a independence from all. You are a gang banger in comparison to the other Supreme Court Judges, white, black,yellow, men or women. Brown is not a special or better color than the others. It just is a color not, in
the words of Rev. Martin Luther King's I Have A dream speech," the content of their character".
You are a nightmare.
